Bitcoin climbed back above $89,000 during U.S. trading hours, marking a rare positive move after weeks of consistent declines in the American session. The price had dipped to around $87,000 just a day earlier before recovering. This upside move is notable because bitcoin has largely trended lower during U.S. market hours over the past month, recording an estimated 20% cumulative drop during that period. The recent rebound suggests a short-term shift in trading behavior.
Despite the price increase, bitcoin open interest measured in BTC declined after U.S. markets opened, falling from roughly 514,000 BTC to 511,000 BTC. This combination of rising price and falling open interest indicates that traders are likely closing short positions rather than opening new leveraged long trades.
Market conditions remain cautious as year-end portfolio adjustments, significant ETF outflows, and thin holiday liquidity continue to limit momentum. According to market analysts, prices are still moving below key technical levels, with activity largely influenced by contract rollovers and tax-related positioning.
Spot bitcoin ETFs recorded $19.3 million in net outflows on Monday, extending the streak of withdrawals to seven consecutive days. In mid-December alone, nearly $1.3 billion exited bitcoin funds. A large portion of this came from a single-day outflow at BlackRock’s IBIT, even though the fund remains strongly positive on a year-to-date basis. The recent selling pressure is believed to be linked to tax-loss harvesting, while many altcoins have avoided similar pressure due to different tax treatment. In derivatives markets, more than $27 billion worth of bitcoin and ether options expired on December 26, marking the largest single-day options expiry in crypto history. Funding rates and overall open interest have been steadily declining toward the end of the year, reflecting reduced risk appetite across the market.#Bitcoin $BTC #BTC
Bitcoin is entering a phase that could redefine what a real bull run looks like. Market sentiment is quietly shifting, and behind the scenes, large players appear to be positioning themselves before a major move. Speculation is growing that a major global company could soon reveal a significant Bitcoin purchase, a development that would instantly change market dynamics.
Institutional interest has never been this intense. Big money doesn’t chase price after the move—it accumulates during uncertainty. While retail traders hesitate, long-term holders and institutions are steadily absorbing supply. This is how powerful rallies are born.
At the same time, the macro narrative is turning favorable. Political voices are becoming more open to crypto, regulation is slowly gaining clarity, and Bitcoin’s role as a strategic asset is being discussed at levels we haven’t seen before. These signals matter more than short-term price noise.
Volatility is expected. Sharp moves of 20–30% in a short period are not unrealistic when liquidity is thin and demand surges. This is exactly why fear dominates right before explosive upside. History shows that those who panic sell during these moments often regret it later.
This phase isn’t about chasing green candles. It’s about patience, conviction, and understanding the game being played. Supply is limited, demand is growing, and the setup suggests something much bigger than last year’s rally. The real bull run may not have started yet—but the groundwork is clearly being laid.
Prezentare generală a pieței Bitcoin și Ethereum arată semne de slăbiciune pe măsură ce anul se apropie de sfârșit. Cu lichiditate scăzută specifică acestei perioade, presiunea de vânzare are un impact mai puternic, împingând activele majore în jos după recentele lor retrageri.
Matt Hougan, CIO of Bitwise, recently said on CNBC that the classic four-year Bitcoin cycle may be coming to an end. He believes 2026 could actually be a positive year for Bitcoin, not a bearish one.
Traditionally, that period is expected to cool off after a major run. But things are changing. Institutional money and wider global adoption are starting to play a bigger role than the halving itself.
If Bitcoin is no longer following the old cycle, it raises a simple but powerful question: what happens to price when the expected bear market doesn’t arrive? #BTC $BTC
